Group 2: Bond Market Dynamics - The 30-year U.S. Treasury yield surpassed 5%, marking the onset of a "long-term high-interest rate era," with the government facing an additional $360 billion in interest payments for every 1% increase in rates [6]. - The yield curve between two-year and ten-year Treasuries approached levels not seen since the 1980s, raising concerns about potential widening of the spread if the Fed chair is replaced [6].
